Summary
Christopher Annanie is a Principal Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building distributed systems, cloud-native architectures, and devops pipelines across education, enterprise, and embedded domains. He has a track record of turning complex analytics and graph-data problems into production services—authoring streaming analytics, serverless pipelines, and a proof-of-concept knowledge graph to deliver teacher-facing student insights at Pearson. Previously he led engineering at ChronoTrack, cutting firmware release cycles, adding remote-control IoT capabilities, and modernizing CI/CD while mentoring teams in Scala and C++. Comfortable across Java, Scala, C++, Spring, AWS serverless, and graph technologies, he combines hands-on implementation with cross-team evangelism to move organizations toward more reliable delivery. Based in Philadelphia, he pairs systems-level performance work (DB/JNI/C++ optimizations for large-scale routing) with pragmatic developer tooling improvements that accelerate team output.
